PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER
Helping Leaders and Teams Punch Above Their Weight
A Champion's Story That Inspires
When you’ve fought 138 times and won British, Commonwealth, European and World titles, you learn what it truly takes to win.
But when the final bell rings and the spotlight fades, the real fight begins. Like many athletes and many high-performing executives, Billy struggled with the transition.
“After retirement, I found myself facing a different kind of opponent. The fight was no longer in the ring; it was in my mind.”
And that’s where Mental Boxing™ was born — the art and science of winning the inner game. Now Billy brings those lessons from the boxing ring of life to businesses, leaders and teams, helping them build the mindset, discipline and resilience of champions.
Introducing Mental Boxing™
“At the heart of everything I do is Mental Boxing™, a powerful philosophy born from the battles I fought inside and outside the ring.”
It’s not about throwing punches, it’s about how you think, react and respond when life throws them back at you. Boxing is commonly known as the noble art, the sweet science; Mental Boxing™ is the art and science of winning.
It’s about mastering the inner game, your thoughts, feelings and emotions, that determine how you perform when it really counts.
This philosophy inspired Billy’s latest book How to Be a Winner: Inside the Mind of a Champion, which reveals the seven winning traits that took him to the top in what’s arguably the toughest sport there is: professional boxing.
The Champion’s Edge
“When I step into a room, my goal isn’t just to motivate, it’s to transform the way people think, feel and perform.”
Through the philosophy of Mental Boxing™, Billy helps leaders and teams uncover the mindset, discipline and resilience that create real results, in business and in life.
This is where inspiration meets action, where stories from the ring become strategies for success and where people rediscover what they’re truly capable of.
After every talk, teams walk away with the ability to think, feel and act differently under pressure, taking ownership and accountability for their actions and results, with access to the mindset of a champion, unlocking new levels of focus, belief and performance.
TESTIMONIAL
"Billy, you have made SUCH A DIFFERENCE in creating the awareness about our need to nurture, refocus and launch back to success. I want to personally thank you for the intense efforts you have made to put all of your insight, talent, passion and time into making Open Door Design a better place . . . "
Dean Evans
Chairman, Open Door Design (Leeds Ltd)
“I know what it takes to win, and how it feels to lose.”
My wish is that when people hear me speak, they leave the room thinking and feeling differently about themselves, their lives and their futures. Because that’s where the real win begins, mastering the inner game of Mental Boxing™.
"But what defines a true champion isn’t the number of victories, it’s the ability to rise again after defeat.
"My journey from the boxing ring to the stage is proof that with passion, power and purpose, we can all come back stronger, in business, in leadership and in life."
In every room, I bring the same passion, power and purpose that made me a world champion, helping leaders and teams step into the ring of life ready to perform, lead and win.
This is more than a talk, it’s a live experience that moves people to think, feel and act differently.
If you want your next event to deliver a lasting impact — not just motivation that fades — bring the passion, power and purpose of Mental Boxing™ to your team.
"If you’re ready to bring that mindset to your next event and inspire your people to perform like champions…"
Let’s get it on!
